help please I want to eat everything in the house

Go for a brisk walk and drink some water. That helps. Also, try cleaning something. Whenever I am bored I want to eat so if you start cleaning your house you will forget about food.

Try going for a walk or a jog or doing some form of physical activity. Not only will it give you more calories to eat but its great for your mind and body. Also I always find that I am less hungry after I work out.

maybe do an exercise video, walk in place or put on a good movie,or call a friend. You have calories left so maybe you should have some popcorn you can eat quite a bit for not alot of calories . I hope this helps

that me .:sad: i stopped smoking.:smokin: now that what i want to do all the time :sick: so to help me i clean and i exercise read

I agree with everyone else's post.

Even try brushing your teeth if you're craving something. Drink water and if after 20mins you're still hungry, then eat.

I'll have to try the suggestions to chew gum. Normally I don't care for it but when I'm just sitting watching TV, I am at my weakest and eating something becomes a bad habit. I use to have another weak time... just after I got home from work and I'd munch then but I have replaced that with doing my workouts. A much better idea. You had one post that mentioned taking a walk. I ditto that.

I have an unorthodox thing I do when I really just want something, especially something sweet. I keep diet soda around. Everyone has villified diet soda, but I don't get it. It's sweet and keeps my mouth busy with absolutely nothing to add to my totals for the day except a small amount of salt. I especially like one in the evening for some reason.

I also don't get the whole anti diet soda thing because I was drinking well over 2 liters a day back when I had my big weight loss.

Diet soda is 100 percent nutrition-free, and it's just as important to actively drink the good stuff as it is to avoid that bad stuff. So one diet soda a day is fine, but if you're downing five or six cans, that means you're limiting your intake of healthful beverages, particularly water and tea.

Bottom line: Diet soda does you no good, and it might just be doing you wrong.

Aspartame is 180 times sweeter than sugar, and some animal research has linked consumption of high amounts of the sweetener to brain tumors and lymphoma in rodents. The FDA [Food & Drug Administration] maintains that the sweetener is safe, but reported side effects include dizziness, headaches, diarrhea, memory loss, and mood changes.

As you said, one a day or so. I suppose after all that water all day, it's just nice to drink something else. Sometimes in the evening it makes me a little stick just to look at a glass of water.

I used to actually be called 2 liter, because I drank so much soda that I never bothered to use a cup. It was fresca I drank back when I lost the big weight, but I agree that it doesn't help the same way some nice water can.

Sit still, breathe in and out, and focus on your breath. I know that for me, when I'm in that "wanna eat everything", there is some emotion I'm not wanting to deal with. I know too that when I was home with my son when he was little, I was horribly lonely. Reaching out to others helped tremendously.

I definitely have those days when I want to "eat the world" as I put it. I think it's my body trying to get its fat stores back. Sometimes I exercise, but often I do snack a lot or chew gum, especially some of the yummier flavors. I find I want to eat more if I had a higher carb day, so I try to keep my carbs lower and my protein high.my body never turns down sleep, so I gotta try that one! :laugh:
